New Let me put it this way.
Drug users and their dealers claim drugs are not only harmless, but are an actual benefit to society. Film at 11.

As far as my understanding of "science" goes, I have two undergraduate degrees in science and a Master of Science in Mathematics.
New and yet you still shoot the messenger
Oh, of course, you set up a straw man to ridicule first.
You seethe in a dark place.
Anger is a result of unmet expectations.
And you are very angry.
What expectation did you have that the universe failed to provide for?
New this one is pretty straightforward

No effect on accident rates. None. Report from the NHTSA. Link to full report under the video. Go to page 6 on the report for the numbers.

Gonna shoot that messenger too?

On the other hand, I'll throw you a bone:

Of course, since I agree with you that kids should not be touching it there is no change in my position based on it.

New There's just not much science behind this either way at this point.
Emphasis Mine.
In a paper published today in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), researchers for the first time comprehensively describe existing abnormalities in brain function and structure of long-term marijuana users with multiple magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques. Findings show chronic marijuana users have smaller brain volume in the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC), a part of the brain commonly associated with addiction, but also increased brain connectivity.

“We have seen a steady increase in the incidence of marijuana use since 2007,“said Dr. Francesca Filbey, Associate Professor in the School of Behavioral and Brain Sciences at the University of Texas at Dallas and Director of the Cognitive Neuroscience Research in Addictive Disorders at the Center for BrainHealth. “However, research on its long-term effects remains scarce despite the changes in legislation surrounding marijuana and the continuing conversation surrounding this relevant public health topic.
